That would be fine in this case, but the problem I described also occurs when outputing the actual news articles, and in that situation the raw_modify_style will need to be kept, because the style file only defines 1 instance of an article, and the tag replacement will need to be done again and again. > > Another possiblity is to increase the memory limits set in your php.ini file. > This is also somehting that I'm not exactly willing to do. This is a script for others to use, and I don't want to have to require something odd like that just for (what should be) a simple news script. > > > $out_text = > > preg_replace("/<!--#MODIFY#-->((.|\\n|\\r)*)?<!--#\/MODIFY#-->/", > > ($step == > > 3)?"\\1" : "", $out_text); > > Uh, maybe this wild guess will work better too... > > if ($step == 3) { > $this->raw_modify_style = > preg_replace("/<!--#MODIFY#-->((.|\\n|\\r)*)?<!--#\/MODIFY#-->/", > "\\1", "$this->raw_modify_style"); > } thanks for the suggestion, but if step != 3 I actually want the stuff in between the tags to disappear (which is why it's done the way I did it).
